Privacy Policy
This policy explains what information firstreviewers.com collects, why we collect it, and the control you have over it.
This Privacy Policy describes how First Reviewers ("we", "us", or "our") handles information when you visit firstreviewers.com and any of its review sites, including software.firstreviewers.com. The site is owned and operated by Rishabh Sharma and serves a primarily United States audience.
1. Information you give us
You can browse every page on this site without giving us any personal information. We only receive personal details when you choose to send them, for example:
- Your name and email address, when you contact us by email
- Your message content, including any questions, corrections, or business details you include
- Your phone number, only if you call or text us first
2. Information collected automatically
Like almost every website, our hosting and analytics tools automatically record basic technical data when you visit:
- IP address and approximate location (usually just your city or region)
- Browser type, operating system, and device type
- Pages visited, time spent on each page, and the site that sent you here
- Clicks on affiliate and outbound links, which is how referral commissions are tracked
This data is aggregated and does not identify you personally.
3. Cookies
We use cookies and similar technologies for four purposes:
- Essential cookies, which keep the site working and remember basic preferences
- Analytics cookies, such as Google Analytics, which show us how visitors use the site so we can improve it
- Advertising cookies, such as Google AdSense, which may be used to show relevant ads and measure their performance
- Affiliate cookies, set by networks such as Impact and PartnerStack for 30 to 90 days, which credit us when you buy a product through our links
You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings at any time. Blocking them will not break the site, though some analytics and referral tracking will stop working.
4. How we use your information
- Operate, maintain, and improve the website
- Respond to your questions, corrections, and suggestions
- Track affiliate referrals and commissions
- Understand which reviews and guides are useful to readers
- Detect and prevent abuse, fraud, and spam
- Meet legal obligations where required
5. Third-party services
We rely on a small number of trusted providers to run the site. Each receives only the data it needs:
- Google Analytics for traffic measurement. Google's handling of that data is described in Google's Privacy Policy, and you can opt out with Google's opt-out tool
- Google AdSense for advertising. You can adjust your ad personalization in Google Ad Settings
- Affiliate networks including Impact, PartnerStack, and Amazon Associates, which set referral cookies when you click product links
- Our hosting and content delivery providers, which process server logs needed to deliver pages and block attacks
These providers may update their own policies over time. We link to them so you can read the current version.
6. Affiliate links and commissions
Some links on this site are affiliate links. If you click one and make a purchase, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Commissions never influence our ratings, and we reject products we would not pay for ourselves. Read the full Affiliate Disclosure.
7. We do not sell your personal information
We do not sell, rent, or trade personal information to data brokers or marketing companies. We share data only with the service providers listed above, and only to the extent needed to run the site.
8. Your privacy rights
California (CCPA)
If you live in California, you have the right to know what personal information we collected in the past 12 months, the right to request deletion of that information, the right to opt out of any sale of personal information (we do not sell any), and the right to equal service when you exercise these rights.
Other US states
Residents of states with their own privacy laws, including Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, and Utah, may request access, correction, deletion, and portability of their personal data. We honor these requests for all US residents.
European Union and United Kingdom
If you visit from the EU or UK, you may also request access, correction, erasure, restriction, and portability of your data under the GDPR.
To exercise any of these rights, email techrushhub@gmail.com. We respond to verified requests within 45 days.
9. International processing
First Reviewers is operated from India. When you use this site, your information may be processed in India, the United States, and other countries where our service providers operate. Data protection laws differ between countries, but we apply the protections described on this page no matter where your data is handled.
10. Children's privacy
This site is intended for adults and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.
11. Data security and retention
We use reasonable technical measures, including HTTPS encryption and access controls, to protect information from unauthorized access or disclosure. No online transmission is ever completely secure, but we treat your data with care. We keep personal information only as long as needed to handle your requests, maintain records, or meet legal duties, after which it is deleted.
12. Links to other websites
Our pages link to external sites, including software companies and affiliate partners. We are not responsible for their privacy practices. Please read the privacy policy of any site you visit through our links.
13. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy as our services or providers change. Updates are posted on this page with a new "Last updated" date. Significant changes will be highlighted on the homepage for a reasonable period.
